i'd like to know why. are you expecting PS3 to sell 500k throught Nov-Dec? even with 500k+ a wk they would sell 59-60.

360 will do it and I think PS3 can do it too, but Wii won't sell 12million units. Wii would need DQX, NSMBWii2 and probably more for that to happen.

You could you be anymore vauge if you tried? What the heck are 'main screen total sales numbers'?

And what are these targets?

i brought all of you back to see if you have different opinins on why PS3 won't sell 60m before Jan 2012.

Ok here is an explanation...

ps3 won't reach 60mil. Its at 53.3mil. Last year from week after October 2nd to January 1st it sold 6.5mil. This year it would need to sell 6.7mil in that timeframe

The pricecut hasn't been spectacular for ps3 sales. Its already down YOY. Last year ps3 had playstation move which actually boosted hardware quite a bit. It also had GT5 which helped tremendiously in EMEAA. This year it has no Huge exclusive. Just another uncharted, and as sony fans often say about halo and gears, people who want to play uncharted already bought a ps3. It won't have a big boost on sales, much smaller than even gears of war 3 or halo reach last year since it doesn't have a custom ps3 bundle for the diehard fans to buy, just a normal one. 

So in conclusion, the ps3 doesn't have a chance in hell of passing 60mil unless it is currently undertracked. Is that good enough for you?

360 making it is a given since even if it gets no holiday boost it will get to 60mil. Wii won't make 100mil, but I think it will be the best seller this holiday again. Sales always just explode near the holidays for reasons I won't state in fear of sounding like im flaming.

yea thanks bunches.

i guess this wasn't worth getting moded over. (sad face)

Sony expect to ship about 62-63 million by the end of the calendar year (65 by the end of the fiscal year), so I'd say it's likely. BTW Enrageorange, I'd wait until we have shipment numbers before claiming the price cut didn't have a significant effect. Unless something disastrous happens 360 should hit 60 million as well. Wii won't hit 100 million though. Nintendo only expect to ship 97 million by the end of March.

60M - 53.2 (current ps3 sales ) = 6.8M  is your expectation for ps3 sales between now and the end of the year.

ps3 2010 sales between now 2010 and the begining of 2011

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Oct 2010 to 01st Jan 2011:

6.8 > 6.2    ...and the ps3 is currently selling at a negative YoY weekly sales rate.

so no, it won't break 60M by the end of the year.  close maybe but it won't break that milestone.

*caviate: this is only my opinion assuming VGCz data is accurate.  if the ps3 is undertracked then my opinion could change.
